DISCLAIMER: I'm pretty ignorant about Meyer as a person, but while I'll do my due research, given time, I don't think what I'll learn will be relevant to this character seeing as I'm just stealing some tropes and possibly letting Inaya interact with characters from her books. I will cherry-pick things, moving past whatever I find distasteful. 

muses will be grouped up in this page, which is a work in progress, because I expect them to have very little interactions (with obvious exceptions, like my oc)

1) Esme Cullen

Esme's bio/canon divergences:

• She'll be the closest muse to canon except for her faceclaim, which I changed because to me it works best with the character and her age at the time of death (26, but usually people at the time looked a tad 'older') 

• only shipping her with Carlisle or leaving her single, because the others, to her, are her kids. I know Rosalie thinks she 'made it do' and is settling for them, but Esme is genuinely happy, and we even know this from Midnight Sun, when Edward could read her thoughts and we saw just how sweet and motherly she is. 

• I'm willing to write past, present and future. While she was content with being turned into a vampire, though, keep in mind that she's always going to remember her lost child and that in the first decades of her life she was very traumatized by her abusive husband, though she was able to let that pain fade.

3) Book-adjacent Bella Swan - but very canon divergent

• We are back to my muses being very canon divergent when it comes to Bella, so no Bella rpers should worry about duplicate anxiety over this. Some parts of my portrayal:

• I think I can only ship Emma and Edward, maybe Emma and Jasper in a parallel universe. I'm sorry about Jake, I love him, but too many things happened in the book that make me like them more as friends. 

• now, first things first, we can postpone the pregnancy. Or ditch the pregnancy if you are uncomfortable with it. She can go to college for a couple of semesters and then realize she can do it as a vampire too, it was really just about wanting to have more time in human form with Edward. Bella's sexuality being allowed to exist in the book is a surprising positive thing, and I will not erase the fact that she's that into it (even if I won't write sex scenes). She will turn eventually and, in my opinion, that is her destiny and when she thrives. 

• with other characters like Charlie we can assume Renesmee was eventually born etc because I also want to write him interacting with vamp!Bella more. 

• the most unpopular difference with canon Bella I'll write is probably this: she will stand up for herself more when treated like she's just a silly girl who doesn't know any better (she is a teenager so she doesn't have the life experience of adults, but Edward and Jacob, of all people, can't act like they are any better. They certainly cannot talk about her love for Jake or decide things for her without Bella fighting back. I understand that not everybody is meant to fight back for their dignity, some people are insecure and I could have let Bella be more of a pushover, but especially in Jake's case it seems that the romantic attraction between them wasn't a real love triangle but Jake being pulled in Renesmee's direction, so I'm writing it off: she's NOT in love with Jake "too", she loves him as a friend. She'd still kiss him because he threatened to let himself die, but she'd eventually get pissed at Edward if Edward insists she has feelings for him. She'd also fight Edward (even in a whiny or pouty way) whenever he tries to decide things for her and be angrier when he keeps secrets or when he stops her car so she can't go see Jake at La Push. She's not perfect, clearly, she'll do a lot of stupid things and yes, sometimes she'll stay a pushover (like with Alice) but she will give Jake an earful about consent after their "first kiss", and one about pretending to wanting to commit suicide, just like she'll give Edward the cold shoulder over the car thing. 

• I'm okay keeping her relationship with her mother the way it is, with Bella acting as the real mom, but consider this: she's "over it" and not mad at her mother because she never considered Renee truly her mother. She doesn't miss what she never had, so she doesn't hold it against her, she's just not as attached as one would be.  

4) probably adding soon: Alice and/or Rosalie and/or Leah, depending on my rp partners
